Abhishek Sharma’s Six-Storm Stuns Crowd Ahead Of IND vs UAE, Asia Cup 2025 Match: Team India’s long-awaited Asia Cup 2025 journey kicks off on Wednesday, September 10, in Dubai. The defending champions will open their campaign against the UAE as they look to retain the title.
Abhishek Sharma in Beast Mode at Nets:
Ahead of the big clash, India’s young opener Abhishek Sharma turned heads with his fiery batting display in the nets. In what was supposed to be an optional training session, Abhishek Sharma showed up determined and went full throttle.
The left-hander smashed the bowlers all around, reportedly hitting between 25 and 30 sixes during practice. Relying on his sharp hand-eye coordination, Abhishek Sharma treated the net bowlers to some serious punishment, warming up for his first Asia Cup in style.
Abhishek Sharma has quickly become a key figure in India’s T20I squad, and fans will be eager to see if he can carry this aggressive form into the tournament.
Captain’s Full Support for Aggressive Batting:
Abhishek Sharma and his fellow attacking batters have the complete backing of skipper Suryakumar Yadav.
Speaking to the media before the opener, Suryakumar made it clear that he won’t be asking his players to hold back. “Temper? Sir, aggression is always there on the field when we take the field. Without aggression, I do not believe one can play this sport. And I am sure, I am very excited to take the field on the front foot,” said Suryakumar Yadav.
Suryakumar Shrugs Off Favourites Tag:
While many see India as the favourites to lift the Asia Cup once again, Suryakumar chose to stay humble when asked about it. “Who said that? (favourites) I have not heard it. You have played in this format, and you know how your preparations are. If your preparations are good, then you will be very confident when you take the field. We are playing Twenty20 as a team after a long time,” he said.
India might be the team to beat on paper, but with their captain keeping them grounded and players like Abhishek Sharma firing up, the tournament promises some exciting cricket ahead.
